Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of pressure-driven development of low-permeability oil reservoirs, and in particular to a two-stage core pressure-driven experimental device and method based on CT scanning. Background Art
[0002] In view of the current situation that water injection wells cannot inject water and oil production wells cannot produce oil in low permeability oil reservoirs, technical personnel in the field have carried out a series of high-pressure water injection pilot tests and achieved certain results. Based on field practice, technical personnel in the field have proposed pressure-driven technology, combining hydraulic fracturing equipment with water injection development, and using large-displacement high-pressure pumping equipment to perform short-term high-pressure water injection above the formation fracture pressure, so that the rocks around the wellbore break and form cracks, thereby increasing the reservoir pressure and seepage capacity in a relatively short period of time, and increasing the oil well production capacity and reservoir recovery rate.
[0003] Based on the knowledge of field practice, it can be inferred that a large number of cracks are generated in the reservoir rocks around the water injection wells during the pressure drive process of low permeability reservoirs. However, it is difficult to directly obtain the changes in the internal structure of the reservoir during the field construction of the oil field, which leads to unclear understanding of the distribution morphology and pressure drive mechanism of pressure drive cracks. When studying the pressure drive process in indoor physical simulation experiments, the working characteristic of the universal core holder is that the injection pressure must be less than the confining pressure. If the confining pressure is higher than the injection pressure, the core will not be able to quickly inject fluid to produce pressure fractures. Therefore, it is urgent to propose a two-stage core pressure drive experimental device and method based on CT scanning to accurately obtain the crack distribution morphology and pressure drive fracture pressure during the pressure drive process of low permeability and tight reservoir cores, and to study the extension and expansion of cracks during the pressure drive process of low permeability cores.

At this time, the front end confining pressure value is equal to the rear end confining pressure value. At the same time, the temperature control system is controlled according to the formation temperature of the reservoir to be simulated, so that the fluid temperature in the intermediate container and the temperature of the core sample in the two-stage pressure controlled core clamp are constant at the formation temperature, and then the four-way valve, the six-way valve and the outlet control valve are adjusted, and the formation water in the formation water intermediate container is injected into the two-stage pressure controlled core clamp by a constant temperature and pressure pump, and the core sample is displaced by formation water, and the formation water injection pressure is obtained according to the indication of the injection pressure gauge, and the water output of the discharge pipe is measured by a metering device.

The two-stage core pressure drive experimental device based on CT scanning as described in Example 1 is used to measure the pressure drive fracture pressure and crack morphology of the core sample based on the constant speed method, including the following steps:
[0055] Step 1, prepare a core sample, drill a circular groove for simulating fracturing perforation at the center of the side wall of the core sample, clean the surface of the core sample, dry it, evacuate it, saturate it with formation water, and place it in a two-stage pressure-controlled core holder.

After the formation water injection pressure and the water output are stable, the initial water permeability of the core is calculated using the Darcy formula. The Darcy formula is a prior art in this field and will not be repeated here.
[0059] Step 4, adjust the four-way valve and the six-way valve so that the constant temperature and pressure pump, the oil intermediate container and the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp are connected through the pipeline, and the formation water intermediate container and the pressure-driven liquid intermediate container are not connected to the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, that is, only the constant temperature and pressure pump can be used to inject the oil in the oil intermediate container into the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, control the constant speed and pressure pump to inject the oil in the oil intermediate container into the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp at a constant flow rate of 0.08ml / min, use oil to displace the core sample, use a metering device to measure the water output of the discharge pipe, when the core sample reaches the initial oil-containing state, the water output of the discharge pipe no longer increases, use a CT scanner to perform CT scanning on the core sample in the initial oil-containing state, obtain the corresponding three-dimensional core data body in the initial oil-containing state and construct a three-dimensional digital core, and obtain the microscopic pore structure of the core sample in the initial oil-containing state.
[0060] Step 5, control the confining pressure servo pump and the manual high-pressure pump, and use the manual high-pressure pump to apply the rear-end confining pressure to the rear-end cavity of the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp according to the formation pressure of the reservoir to be simulated, and use the confining pressure servo pump to apply the front-end confining pressure to the front-end cavity of the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, so that the front-end confining pressure is greater than the rear-end confining pressure, adjust the four-way valve and the six-way valve, so that the constant temperature and pressure pump, the pressure drive fluid intermediate container and the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp are connected through the pipeline, and the formation water intermediate container and the oil intermediate container are not connected to the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, and control the constant speed and pressure pump to inject the fluid in the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp After the pressure gradually increases to the rear end confining pressure value, continue to control the constant speed constant pressure pump to increase the injection pressure of the fluid in the two-stage pressure controlled core holder and ensure that the front end confining pressure is 2MPa higher than the injection pressure of the fluid in the two-stage pressure controlled core holder (i.e., the pressure of pressure gauge 7a) during the fluid injection process. Then control the constant speed constant pressure pump to inject the pressure driving fluid in the pressure driving fluid intermediate container into the two-stage pressure controlled core holder at a constant flow rate of 0.1ml / min, use the pressure driving fluid to displace the core sample, observe the injection pressure gauge, and use the metering device to measure the oil output of the discharge pipe to obtain the pressure driving fluid injection pressure and recovery rate change curve with time.
[0061] Step 6, after the injection pressure indication is stable, the constant temperature and constant pressure pump is controlled to gradually increase the injection speed of the pressure-driven fluid according to the preset pressure gradient of 0.1 ml / min, and the injection pressure change curve under different flow rates is obtained. The indication of the injection pressure gauge is observed until a sudden pressure drop occurs. When a sudden pressure drop occurs, it indicates that cracks have occurred in the core sample. The critical fracture pressure of the pressure-driven fluid is determined according to the indication of the injection pressure gauge when the pressure drops suddenly. A CT scanner is used to perform a CT scan on the core sample after the cracks are generated, and a three-dimensional data body of the core after the cracks are generated is obtained, and a three-dimensional digital core is constructed to obtain the microscopic pore structure and crack morphology of the core sample after the cracks are generated.
[0062] It can be seen that compared with the pressure-driven experiment using the traditional core clamp, the real fracturing effect can only be simulated when the injection pressure of the pressure-driven fluid is higher than the confining pressure of the core sample. In the actual application process, the injection pressure of the pressure-driven fluid in the rock sample is higher than the confining pressure it is subjected to, which is easy to cause leakage of the core clamp, thereby causing the experiment to fail. In this embodiment, the two-stage core pressure-driven experimental device based on CT scanning sets a front cavity and a rear cavity in the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp to apply different confining pressures to the front and rear halves of the core sample, so that the confining pressure at the injection end of the core sample is greater than the injection pressure of the fluid, effectively ensuring that the pressure-driven fluid is injected into the core sample at a high pressure, forming the necessary pressure difference inside and outside the core sample to achieve the core fracture condition, and truly restoring the pressure-driven process of the rock in the reservoir, and realizing the accurate simulation of the pressure-driven fracture pressure and crack morphology of the rock in the reservoir.
[0063] Example 3
[0064] This embodiment proposes a two-stage core pressure drive experimental method based on CT scanning, using the two-stage core pressure drive experimental device based on CT scanning as described in Example 1, and simulating the pressure drive fracture expansion law and pressure drive enhanced oil recovery effect based on the constant pressure method, including the following steps:
[0065] Step 1: prepare two identical core samples, drill a circular groove at the center of the side wall of the core sample to simulate fracturing perforation, clean the surface of the core sample, dry it, evacuate it, and saturate it with formation water, then randomly select one core sample and place it in a two-stage pressure-controlled core holder.
[0066] In this embodiment, rock samples are drilled at representative strata in the reservoir to make cylindrical cores, and a circular groove for simulating fracturing perforation is drilled at the center of the side wall of the core sample to obtain the core sample. After the surface of the core sample is cleaned, dried, vacuumed, and saturated with formation water, the core sample is used as a reservoir pressure drive model to perform experiments using the core sample instead of the rock in the reservoir to be simulated.
[0067] Step 2: obtain formation water and oil from the reservoir to be simulated, prepare pressure-driven fluid in advance, and inject the formation water, oil and pressure-driven fluid into the formation water intermediate container, the oil intermediate container and the pressure-driven fluid intermediate container respectively.
[0068] Step 3, according to the preset front-end confining pressure value, control the confining pressure servo pump to apply confining pressure to the front-end cavity of the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, and according to the preset rear-end confining pressure value, control the manual high-pressure pump to apply confining pressure to the rear-end cavity of the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp. At this time, the front-end confining pressure value is equal to the rear-end confining pressure value. At the same time, the temperature control system is controlled according to the formation temperature of the reservoir to be simulated, so that the fluid temperature in the intermediate container and the temperature of the core sample in the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp are kept constant at the formation temperature, and then adjust the four-way valve and the six-way valve so that the constant temperature and pressure pump, the formation water intermediate container and the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp are The two-stage pressure-controlled core holders are connected by pipelines, and the oil intermediate container and the pressure-driven liquid intermediate container are not connected to the two-stage pressure-controlled core holder, that is, only the formation water in the formation water intermediate container can be injected into the two-stage pressure-controlled core holder by a constant temperature and pressure pump, and the core samples in the two-stage pressure-controlled core holders are displaced by the formation water. The formation water injection pressure is obtained according to the indication of the injection pressure gauge, and the water output of the discharge pipe is measured by a metering device. After the formation water injection pressure and the water output are stable, the initial water permeability of the core is calculated using the Darcy formula. The Darcy formula is a prior art in this field and will not be repeated here.
[0069] Step 4, adjust the four-way valve and the six-way valve so that the constant temperature and pressure pump, the oil intermediate container and the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp are connected through the pipeline, and the formation water intermediate container and the pressure-driven liquid intermediate container are not connected to the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, that is, only the constant temperature and pressure pump can be used to inject the oil in the oil intermediate container into the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, control the constant speed and pressure pump to inject the oil in the oil intermediate container into the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp at a constant flow rate of 0.08ml / min, use oil to displace the core sample, use a metering device to measure the water output of the discharge pipe, when the core sample reaches the initial oil-containing state, the water output of the discharge pipe no longer increases, use a CT scanner to perform CT scanning on the core sample in the initial oil-containing state, obtain the corresponding three-dimensional core data body in the initial oil-containing state and construct a three-dimensional digital core, and obtain the microscopic pore structure of the core sample in the initial oil-containing state.
[0070] Step 5, control the confining pressure servo pump and the manual high-pressure pump, and use the manual high-pressure pump to apply the rear-end confining pressure to the rear-end cavity of the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp according to the formation pressure of the reservoir to be simulated, and use the confining pressure servo pump to apply the front-end confining pressure to the front-end cavity of the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, so that the front-end confining pressure is greater than the rear-end confining pressure, adjust the four-way valve and the six-way valve, so that the constant temperature and pressure pump, the pressure drive fluid intermediate container and the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp are connected through the pipeline, and the formation water intermediate container and the oil intermediate container are not connected to the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, and control the constant speed and pressure pump to inject the fluid in the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp After the pressure gradually increases to the rear end confining pressure value, continue to control the constant speed constant pressure pump to increase the injection pressure of the fluid in the two-stage pressure controlled core holder and ensure that the front end confining pressure is 2MPa higher than the injection pressure of the fluid in the two-stage pressure controlled core holder (i.e., the pressure of pressure gauge 7a) during the fluid injection process. Then control the constant speed constant pressure pump to inject the pressure driving fluid in the pressure driving fluid intermediate container into the two-stage pressure controlled core holder at a constant flow rate of 0.1ml / min, use the pressure driving fluid to displace the core sample, observe the injection pressure gauge, and use the metering device to measure the oil output of the discharge pipe to obtain the pressure driving fluid injection pressure and recovery rate change curve with time.
[0071] Step 6, after the injection pressure indication is stable, the constant temperature and constant pressure pump is controlled to gradually increase the injection speed of the pressure-driven fluid according to the preset pressure gradient of 0.1 ml / min, and the injection pressure change curve under different flow rates is obtained. The indication of the injection pressure gauge is observed until a sudden pressure drop occurs. When a sudden pressure drop occurs, it indicates that cracks have occurred in the core sample. The critical fracture pressure of the pressure-driven fluid is determined according to the indication of the injection pressure gauge when the pressure drops suddenly. A CT scanner is used to perform a CT scan on the core sample after the cracks are generated, and a three-dimensional data body of the core after the cracks are generated is obtained, and a three-dimensional digital core is constructed to obtain the microscopic pore structure and crack morphology of the core sample after the cracks are generated.
[0072] Step 7, using another core sample to replace the core sample in the two-stage pressure-controlled core holder, repeating steps 3 and 4, and obtaining the microscopic pore structure of the replaced core sample in the initial oil-containing state;
[0073] Step 8, according to the indication of the injection pressure gauge, control the confining pressure servo pump to apply a confining pressure value higher than the injection pressure of the fluid in the two-stage pressure-controlled core holder to the front cavity of the two-stage pressure-controlled core holder. At this time, the front confining pressure value of the core sample is 2MPa higher than the injection pressure of the fluid in the two-stage pressure-controlled core holder (i.e., the pressure of the pressure gauge 7a). According to the pressure-driven critical fracture pressure determined in step 6, a constant temperature and pressure pump is set, and the constant temperature and pressure pump is controlled to inject the pressure-driven fluid in the pressure-driven fluid intermediate container into the core under the pressure-driven critical fracture pressure condition, and the core sample is displaced by the pressure-driven fluid, and the oil output and the pressure-driven fluid flow rate of the discharge pipeline are measured by a metering device.
[0074] Step 9, after a preset amount of pressure-driven fluid is injected into the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, the preset amount in this embodiment is set according to the pore volume of the core sample, specifically 0.5 times the pore volume of the core sample, and a CT scanner is used to perform a CT scan on the core sample after the pressure-driven fluid is injected to obtain a three-dimensional digital core and pore structure corresponding to the core sample in the current state.
[0075] Step 10, after the injection of the pressure-driven fluid is completed, the four-way valve and the six-way valve are adjusted so that the constant temperature and pressure pump, the formation water intermediate container and the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp are connected through the pipeline, and the oil intermediate container and the pressure-driven fluid intermediate container are not connected to the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp, that is, only the constant temperature and pressure pump can be used to inject the formation water in the formation water intermediate container into the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp at a constant flow rate of 0.08 ml / min, and the formation water is used to displace the core sample in the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp until the oil output measured by the metering device no longer changes, and the formation water displacement of the core sample is terminated, and the core sample is scanned again by the CT scanner to obtain the three-dimensional digital core and pore structure corresponding to the core sample after the pressure drive is completed.
[0076] It can be seen that compared with the pressure-driven experiment using the traditional core clamp, the real fracturing effect can only be simulated when the injection pressure of the pressure-driven fluid is higher than the confining pressure of the core sample. In the actual application process, the injection pressure of the pressure-driven fluid in the rock sample is higher than the confining pressure it is subjected to, which is easy to cause leakage of the core clamp, thereby causing the experiment to fail. In this embodiment, the two-stage core pressure-driven experimental device based on CT scanning sets a front cavity and a rear cavity in the two-stage pressure-controlled core clamp to apply different confining pressures to the front and rear halves of the core sample, so that the confining pressure at the injection end of the core sample is greater than the injection pressure of the fluid, effectively ensuring that the pressure-driven fluid is injected into the core sample at a high pressure, forming the necessary pressure difference inside and outside the core sample to achieve the core fracture condition, and truly restoring the pressure-driven process of the rock in the reservoir, and realizing the accurate simulation of the pressure-driven crack expansion law and the pressure-driven enhanced recovery effect.
